I am really close to a guy, it is just a friendship, he is emotionally unavailable and I am well aware of this so we friend zoned each other pretty early on. We get on well and I admit he is my go to when something has troubled me and vice versa. We talk everyday and I class him as a very big part of my life.
Recently, I have began a friendship with a new guy in my neighbourhood and my OG friend knows all about it. Last weekend the new guy asked me round to his house for a few drinks as a small party at his new house. I had no problems with that, he is a nice guy and we get on pretty well. I told my OG friend I was going and that I probably wouldn't have Wi-Fi for SC so he just started to text me. Obviously, in someone else's house I am not getting my phone out constantly to reply as that would be the height of bad manners. I replied when I could to messages which were teasing me about the new guy but I didn't reply to the last one or two.
Next day I was a little worse for wear, it was a great night but I come home to my own bed I did not stay over and nothing happened. OG friend texts me first thing but I was sleeping and I believe he jumped to certain conclusions as I hadn't replied all night and for most of the day he seemed really quiet and distant (believe me, I know when he is being strange I have known him for 10 years). I thought maybe it was all to do with the situation so (even though I know I didn't have to) I told him nothing had happened with new friend, I hadn't even stayed the night. His reply was "It's up to you what you do, you don't have to tell me. I'll just support you no matter what!" After this though he was incredibly chatty for the rest of the night even ringing me to see how I was feeling and we have plans to meet up this weekend (covid restrictions allowing of course).
The question I have (sorry it was so long winded) was does he really care and was just saying he didn't (quite sarcastically) or am I reading into it completely wrongly?
